Abstract

Provided is a cutting tool for back turning capable of improving chipping resistance. A cutting tool wherein a wall surface of a chip breaker includes a first wall surface that is formed along a first ridgeline, and a reinforcing surface that is connected to the first wall surface and a first end surface at an end portion of the chip breaker on the side of a first cutting edge, and that forms an angle of 90 degrees or an obtuse angle with the first end surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cutting tool for back turning comprising:
a flank facing a first direction;
a first end surface facing a direction opposite to the first direction;
an upper surface connecting the flank and the first end surface;
a first ridgeline connecting the flank and the upper surface such that an angle between the first ridgeline and the first direction increases as a distance from the first end surface to a portion of the first ridgeline in the first direction increases when viewed from a side of the upper surface;
a second ridgeline connecting the first end surface and the upper surface; and
a chip breaker formed on the upper surface between the first ridgeline and the second ridgeline, wherein
the first end surface is connected to the flank at one end of the first ridgeline and at one end of the second ridgeline,
the first ridgeline has a nose portion connected to the second ridgeline at the one end of the first ridgeline, a first cutting edge connected to the nose portion, and a second cutting edge connected to the first cutting edge,
the chip breaker has a wall surface including a first wall surface that extends along the first ridgeline, and a reinforcing surface that is connected to the first wall surface and the first end surface at an end portion of the chip breaker on a side of the first cutting edge,
an angle of 90 degrees or an obtuse angle is formed between the reinforcing surface and the first end surface,
a rake face is formed on the upper surface between the chip breaker and the first ridgeline, and
the reinforcing surface is connected to the rake face while maintaining a width of the reinforcing surface between the first end surface and the first wall surface to be not less than one-third of a length of the first cutting edge.

2. The cutting tool for back turning according to claim 1 , wherein
the reinforcing surface is flat at least in a portion connected to the first end surface.

3. The cutting tool for back turning according to claim 1 , wherein
the first wall surface and the reinforcing surface are smoothly connected to each other.

4. The cutting tool for back turning according to claim 1 , wherein
a flat portion is formed in the rake face between the chip breaker and the first ridgeline, and an inclination of the first wall surface relative to the flat portion is larger than an inclination of the reinforcing surface relative to the flat portion.

5. A cutter comprising the cutting tool for back turning according to claim 1 .
